Cheltenham v Blackpool FA Youth Cup - live updates
Key Events
- FT: Cheltenham 1-3 Blackpool
- Young Seasiders bidding to reach last 16 of the FA Youth Cup
29 - Delay
The game is temporarily stopped to allow the Cheltenham keeper to receive some treatment, but he’s fine to continue.
Cheltenham’s Brandon Liggett, meanwhile, picks up a booking for a foul on Jack Moore.
24 - What a save
Cheltenham so close to levelling for a second time this evening as Adulai Sambu’s 20-yard piledriver is superbly tipped behind by Alex McLachlan.
The keeper then saves a header from the resulting corner.
21 - GOAL BLACKPOOL! (1-2)
Dannen Francis restores Blackpool’s lead with a low drilled finish after a cross had been partially cleared to the winger.
It had been coming.
21 - Cleared
Johnny Johnston shows excellent persistence to somehow force his way past a couple of challenges down the right, only to see his cross blocked.
Pool still pressing to restore their lead.
19 - On top
Blackpool look to be getting on top here.
Tayt Trusty has just dragged a shot wide of goal via the aid of a deflection.
16 - Wide
Dannen Francis pounces on a poor pass before twisting and turn past his man, but he can only shoot wide of the near post. Good trickery in the build-up though.
13 - Contrast in styles
It’s been a lively start in terms of goals but not a lot else has really happened. Both sides are still struggling to keep hold of possession for too long, although the Seasiders look a lot more willing to keep the ball on the deck and play from back to front.
8 - GOAL CHELTENHAM (1-1)
Blackpool’s lead didn’t last for long.
The home side are back on level terms as number two Joe Hunt inadvertently lobs keeper Alex McLachlan with what appeared to be a cross.
Unfortunate way to concede for the young Seasiders.
4 - GOAL BLACKPOOL! (0-1)
A dream start for the Seasiders as they score with their first chance of the game.
Jake Daniels meets Dannen Francis’ floated cross to poke home.
